Abstract: 334,813. Baader, R. Dec. 20, 1929. Addition to 320,576. Dressing fish.-Relates to a modification in the means for removing backbones in the machine described in the parent Specification. A disc 22, rotated at approximately the same speed as the disc 1 by means of gearing and shafting, including universal joints, is provided on each side with sharpened projections 21 of ogival form. The disc 22 is journaled to the swinging arm 20 which is pivoted at 19 and pressed against the fish by a spring 18. A sharpened adjustable plunger or knife 24, Figs. 5 and 7, is carried on the arm 20 and is arranged between the spikes 21 to sever the backbone adjacent to the tail and to ease it out of the fish. The spikes 21 penetrate the flesh on each side of the backbone, whilst the disc 22 presses and rolls on the inside surface of the backbone and presses the fish against the disc 1. thus ensuring that it will be conveyed thereby. The rib-bones are forced into the gaps between the spikes 21 and as the disc 22 rotates, are drawn out of the belly cavity. The disc 22 and spikes 21 are cleared by the member 25. The amount of penetration of the spikes 21 is adjustable by a screw 31. The plough 24 is lifted over the tail root by a cam 26 on the disc 21 engaging a roller 27 on the arm 20.

Abstract: 1,211,400. Valves. V. L. KOSTROMENKO. 19 Aug., 1968, No. 39581/68. Heading F2V. In a metering valve, which is designed for use in association with vacuum apparatus, the valve closure member 22 has secured to a part 6 thereof a rod 8 whose other, uppermost, end is mounted within an adjustable nut 10, the nut resting on a hollow upright 9 secured to the valve body 1, 2 and the rod being made of low-carbon steel or other metals characterized by a high elastic limit in tension. In operation of the valve, rotation of a hand wheel 15 causes axial displacement of a bushing 16, the extent of such displacement being limited by first stop 26 engageable with a shoulder 27 on the upright 9 and a second, adjustable stop 25 secured to the upright 9. Such axial displacement of the bushing is transferred, via pins 14, to a sleeve 13 which in turn acts to alter the compression of a spring 12 disposed between it and the valve part 6, compression of the spring serving to elastically extend the metal rod and so cause seating of the valve member 22. A valve chamber 7, disposed downstream of the inlet 3, is hermetically sealed with respect to the outside of the valve by means of a bellows 16 and a sealing gasket 17.

Abstract: 1,174,350. Winding and inserting stator coils. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP. 31 Aug., 1967 [23 Sept., 1966], No. 39904/67. Heading B3A. A stator-coil winding and transfer arrangement comprises at least one coil form 32-35 having a winding position and a transfer position, means 24 for winding at least one coil on a coil form, and a transferring device for receiving the wound coils from the coil forms, which device comprises elongated fingers 6 spaced parallel to each other along a circle, and the or each coil form, in the coil transferring position, being in direct coil transfer relation to the coil transferring device. An assembly 16, which includes a cluster of the coil forms, is supported on bars 18, 19 extending through a housing 20 and each coil form is offered up in turn to the winding mechanism 24. The number of coil forms depends on the number of poles in the dynamoelectric machine for which the coils are intended. Each coil form has straight surface portion (9) to shape the sections 9a and it may be collapsed by moving either of sections 1 or 2 relative to the other Fig. 5 (not shown). When the coils have been wound, a rod 49 is actuated by an air cylinder 60 to pivot the coil forms about pins 31 by pivoted links 50-53. The assembly 16 is then swung over into alignment with the comb structure 12 with the fingers 6 thereof in registry with openings 5 in the coil forms. A lever 4 is actuated to collapse the coil form and the coils are slipped into the spaces 7 between the fingers 6. The coils are then transferred from the comb 12 to a stator core 72 by wedges. The levers 4 may be provided with cam surfaces which engage stationary cam surfaces disposed in the path of movement of the levers so as to actuate the levers during movement of the coil forms under the action of the air cylinder 60.

Title: A receiver circuit for call signals of a predetermined frequency

Abstract: 962, 337. Selective signalling systems. HASLER A.G. Nov. 21, 1960 [Dec. 2, 1959], No. 39957/60. Heading G4H. [Also in Divisions H3 and H4] In a receiver for a selective calling signal of predetermined frequency the incoming signal is amplified at 2, supplied to a filter 7, and rectified at 8. The rectified signal starts an oscillator 9 whereby an audible signal is provided at 11, or alternatively a relay may be operated. According to the invention a non-linear impedance such as a silicon diode 6 is connected between the rectifier 8 and oscillator 9 which provides a high impedance for an applied voltage below a predetermined voltage higher than the threshold voltage for the response of the indicator, but assumes a low value of impedance for applied voltages above the predetermined voltage, to maintain the indicator operative when the predetermined voltage is exceeded. The arrangement provides a filter supplying a voltage to the oscillator 9 having a higher peak value and steeper slope with change of frequency than with resistive coupling.

Abstract: 957,672. Shearing; making sheets. DAVY & UNITED ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. Nov. 21, 1960 [Nov. 25, 1959], No. 40006/59. Headings B3A and B3W. Apparatus for trimming sheet metal comprises a shears and means for heat treating the sheared edge of the plate to reduce the work hardening produced. The sheet is fed by a roller-table 12 to guillotines or disc-cutters 24, 26 for trimming the edges, the cutters being so arranged as not to overlap. Holddown discs 27 are provided coaxial with the top cutters 24. Means for revising the maximum sound width of the sheet may comprise photocells or jets 40 aligned with the cutters. The jets may be close to the plate, and those aligned with the cutting unit 16 are adjustable with the unit. If the unit 16 and the associated jets are spread too far from the cutting unit 17 and its jets, one or more of the jets may be uncovered, allowing compressed air to escape. The resulting reduction in pressure may operate an indicator. Alternatively the jets 40 beneath the sheet may be associated with pressure-operated switches above the sheet and in circuit with indicator lamps, which are extinguished by pressure from the uncovered jets opening the switches. Cutters 18 sever the trimmed edges into short pieces as the sheet passes on to a roller table 20 leading to the annealing table. This has inclined rolls 30 for positioning the sheet in relation to induction heaters or, as shown, gas burners 21, 22. These comprise nozzles 32 cooled by water jackets 35 and supplied centrally at 33 with a mixture of gas and air. The flame is directed on to the edges 36 of the sheet 37. The burners 22 are adjustable laterally of the sheet by guides 29.

Abstract: 974,971. Centrifugal compressors and pumps. J. H. CARRUTHERS & CO. Ltd. March 1, 1961 [Dec. 3, 1959], No. 41064/59. Heading F1C. In a rotary gas pump comprising a casing 1, Fig. 1, for liquid, a hollow rotor mounted within the casing 1 and including an annular rim 2C and a peripheral series of through openings 7 in the rim, a gas inlet 1A, Fig. 2 (not shown), to the rotor interior, and a gas outlet 1B from the casing, the rim maintains a bore in the liquid in the casing and slidingly engages the bore wall and the relative flow of the liquid past the openings creates a suction effect at the openings 7 to cause outward flow of gas through the openings and into the liquid. The inlet is normally provided with a non-return valve to prevent loss of liquid when the pump is stationary. Preferably, the rotor has vanes 8 which impel the gas towards the openings 7 and the casing has vanes 9 which suppress rotary motion of the liquid and guide gas particles away from the rotor periphery. A preferred form of rotor is shown in Fig. 3 in which channels 15 have throats 15A adjacent gas outlet openings 11 to provide maximum relative velocity of the liquid past the channels 11 thereby increasing gas flow. The gas pump may be combined with a centrifugal pump for liquids so that the latter becomes self-priming. The gas exit openings may be formed as hydraulic channels extending to the centre of the rotor so that the rotor additionally operates as a hydraulic impeller.
